I just want to say I absolutely love your videos Joey. I was starting to get in the blacksmithing but had an unrelated accident leaving me quadriplegic unable to pursue the craft so it's enjoyable watching you do these experiments and all of these things
Wishing you well my friend! Are you simply unable to walk or worse than that? If the former, check out Glen GS Tongs, he works sitting down and could serve as some inspiration :) ua-cam.com/channels/RYLF0akxMww1roAEAGVwoQ.html
Thank you Joey and Filip. I was looking for this weld to make ball finals for a boot rack and with your help I have managed to get some good results. I have also enjoyed the other welding videos and its great that you guys are showing these techniques for beginner smiths of today and generations to come.
The ball would also be good in andirons or the beginning of a bolt. He makes it look easy. That is what is great about this craft, you never stop learning.
Well done. I have to bend down. And my nose is allready touching the ground. Respekt. Thank you vor teaching. Keep the fire burning. Greez from Bavaria.
Thanks for the demo. Filip is amazing. You both have such good hammering skills. He is well practiced in doing that weld. I've seen historic examples and some of them you can spot the weld all too easily but yet they survived and often hard duty.
I enjoyed his turn of phrase- but I always enjoy the Dutch speaking English. It’s never wrong or incorrect it’s just so me of the vocabulary used is more interesting and colorful- with awesome pronunciation. If only my Dutch was so compelling as a native Scots English speaker to a nederlander !
Filip Ponseele I’m from Scotland but live in Texas now so it’s a wee jaunt across the pond. But if I’m ever in that neck of the woods I’ll take you up on the offer. Many thanks.
Very nice. Both in the anything and the camera work. Not something I had ever thought of. When the curved b it is being made it looks like it would be a good way of welding two bars 90 degrees.
The most important thing I got from this video was his recommendation to have the gap in the collar facing down to minimize debris contaminating the weld. Also, was the taper on the rod formed only to aid in pushing the rod into the collar? Seems as though the gap on the end of the taper would not give adequate closure for the weld.
I’m not sure if it’s proper, or frowned upon, but I wear a pair of polarized sun glasses, so that I can see the surface of the steel without hurting my eyes. It’s helped me advance leaps and bounds in my forge welding. Great video, as per usual, Joey!
If you can wear and see with dark glasses, I highly recommend using IR (infrared) filtered glasses. Over time, constant viewing of a fire (or any infrared source, including gas forges) will contribute to developing cataracts in your eyes...be safe.
@@whilomforge3402 I had heard, and actually confirmed with my opthalmologist, that prolonged IR exposure can cause premature cataracts. He just last month removed cataracts from both my eyes. I now have about 20/25, crystal clear vision! I ordered my IR glasses from UVEX, who has several darknesses and filter strengths. I assume that since I am now cataract free, that I no longer will have to wear them, but will confirm that with the Dr.
Wow joe he is good. I didn’t hear him say if that was iron or steel. Looks like iron to me. But u never know. Awesome joe thx. What was he using ???? ....thx Paul🔥⚒👍
Hello can I ask you I want to buy mild steel for making bodies of my axes, what type of mild steel do you use? or do you have any tips to find mild steel from car parts, etc. at scrapyards? thanks. Boris
Hello Boris, the mild steel we use comes from metalwholesale and is bad quality from China. To hard for decorative iron work but good for your kind of work. Good luck with the axes..Blacksmith Filip Ponseele
Very nice! What a privilege to learn from a master like Mr Ponseele !
His descriptions and tips are fantastic. I would love to see more from Joey and Filip working together
...should they be listening :)
Great video. Having such trouble with forge welding. How satisfying it is to watch this man do it.
I have used this technique a lot to make heads on long bolts. Works really well.

Love this guy. His English, is better than many English. Thanks Joey.
I would love to see more videos with you and Filip. Thanks Joe
What a fine teacher !
thanks again JvdS. FP is quite a smith and the way you both play with english words/sounds is half the fun of watching.

Excellent demo. Y'all make it look easy. Precious knowledge
This is such a great video - thank you so much, both Filip and of course, Joey!
You guys really have welding nailed. Really good to watch and so useful to learn from.
far out to cool for school I like that he takes a different approach to it and I like that see still learning
The ball would also be good in andirons or the beginning of a bolt. He makes it look easy. That is what is great about this craft, you never stop learning.
I could spend at lest a year in Filip's shop!!!! Thanks for the video!!!!! Have a good day Jim from Ohio USA
if you bring your own food and drink Right?

Masters experience is very superb. Maintaining of time is sensitive used by our Master. Thank you. 👌👍🙏

Wow that's a really cool joey this could be very cool to see on a paper towel holder or something like that . I really like that
i feel like you made the video just for me as a teaching video
I love seeing these different techniques and tricks. Great video sir keep up the good work
Fantastic. Thank-you.

Filip Ponseele my mistake, no offense meant. - why are forge welding videos so soothing..... 😁

Tremendous demonstration; absolutely masterful.
Zoom into the fire! I love the way this guy talks.
A true master of the hammer and anvil a joy to watch thank you Joey.............be well and be safe..
Absolute command of the anvil. Great camerawork also 🍻
Super nice illustration!
That is something I really need to try. An Excellent exercise in the only heat control but hammer control and forging
Very efficient work.
Perfect timing!!! Just when I am needing to make curtain rods for my house
What a pleasure to watch.
Not his first gig I see lol

Yes it was .it slips on more easy
@@filipponseele7346 Thank you for the explanation. You do beautiful work.

shortfuse43 thank you for that advice. I have an appointment with my optometrist this week, so I’ll see if I can get those. Thanks again!

I love that type of video! Thank you for sharing that with us
excellent video. thanks
Very nice!
I've done some collars like this. It's pretty fun! Still used borax for the flux, though.
Thank from all of us how are being guide throw your expertise.
VERY useful and instructive, thank you for sharing this.
Is it silica sand? Can’t be just plain old sand from the sandbox, right?
Dat ga ik ook proberen.dit was een goede les .hij kan er wat van (Filip) I am impressed ⚒️🔥⚒️
Wow joe he is good. I didn’t hear him say if that was iron or steel. Looks like iron to me. But u never know. Awesome joe thx. What was he using ???? ....thx Paul🔥⚒👍
This is simple mild steel! No iron in this video!
Joey van der Steeg wow. It looks really soft. He must hit hard real hard. Thx joe. I could watch him work all day long. That great

@@filipponseele7346 Thank you Filip have a great day!
Hay Joey, I have some questions. Why does he use sand instead of Borax and what type of sand does he use? Are there any benefits in using sand.
It's quartz sand. Joey used it in some previous videos.
Did he learn English in the UK?
BBC television and many British friends (even Brexiteers)
Excellent
Il faut que j'essais ça, mais moi et la soudure a la forge.... un bon exercice 👍
Pratiquer mon vieux
Weer klasse werk!
What was the sand for?
It prevent the steel from burning/melting before reaching the welding heat, also help to keep the dirt from sticking to the piece...
Outstanding.
That was great!
Wonderful!
Thank you!
very cool
Beautiful... looks easy when a pro does it....
Blacksmith the only true !
Filips english is very good. As good as yours, Joey.
Very Nice~
Like a Boss!
Vakmanschap is meesterschap 👍
Mad skilz!

I love forged balls hahaha
Try them with tomatosauce. Delisious
